Chapter 410
Mark was controlling the R2D2 robot with Liriel inside it using his Telekinesis spell but he was making sure that the robot was floating near the ground so it would appear that it was moving using wheels.
The twins kept cheering at every character they saw and Liriel kept pushing the button inside the robot that would produce the R2D2 beep sound.
Soon they arrived at the location where the Star Wars convention would be held and beside it was the temporary theater tent that they built up for the twin’s friends. He saw that there were already a few people who were assigned to the buffet tables waiting for him.
Mark replicated the six tables that he already prepared and the people assigned to the tables station themselves. Soon everyone saw the warp gate portal glow in the distance, meaning the customers would now arrive in droves and truthfully enough, there was a nonstop stream of people coming in from the warp gate.
The twins shouted when they saw their friends coming from Narcone entering the warp gate. They were very prominent since their parents or guardians were actually wearing the invitation card in a visible position on their chest like a huge necklace and Mark laughed.
Those who entered wearing the invitation cards looked very proud. They probably felt like they were very important people and honored guests of the circus. There were now four people that Nedertu hired to receive the twins’ friends. Two on Narcone’s side and two on this side. One would remain in the gate and the other would accumulate a few people and would bring them to the buffet table so they could have their breakfast. Once the person who was hired to receive the twin’s friends brought the people to the buffet tables, he immediately went back to the warp gate to lead some more people to the tables.
There was a huge signboard beside the tables that stated that the food would be available the whole day for the people who had the invitation cards and when some of the twin’s friends arrived together with their family, Mark saw their eyes actually bulge when they saw the huge spread that was waiting for them.
They saw the six tables that were filled with what Mark thought their guests could consider as exotic food and the fact that they could eat as much as they could would probably overwhelm some of them.
When some of the people assigned to the buffet tables saw that the people who arrived were wearing the invitation cards had reticence in approaching the buffet, they loudly invited everyone and announced that they could eat as much as they could but to make sure to take care of themselves to avoid indigestion or stomachache.
Tulok’s parents saw Mark and Liriel and quickly approached him. Tulok was one of the twin’s friends and both he and the twins were already leading their friends on the table and soon everyone was happily eating food from the buffet table.
“Mark! We’re here. The food looked great and they looked plentiful but are you sure that they could last all day?” Mary, Tulok’s mother asked.
“I would be conjuring replacement tables as soon as they were empty so no one needs to worry,” Mark answered.
“I was asked by some of the others if they could bring home food when return to Narcone.”
“Yes, they could bring home as much food as they could but remember to pack food when you’re about to go home since you don’t want spoiled food when you return home.”
Soon more people arrived and Mark was impressed with himself since even though there were a lot of people, the food on the table didn’t need to be replaced yet.
Mary, Tulok’s mother assigned herself as the one responsible for the majority of the twin’s friends' guardians and informed him that almost all of the guests had arrived. Mark then reiterated that the movie marathon that was prepared for the boys’ friends would start at ten in the morning. In the meantime, all the adults that accompanied the children could roam around the circus and try all the attractions for free but to make sure that they would group themselves with the holder of the card. It was all stated in the invitation card so everyone was aware of that information.
While Mark and Liriel looked on, the children were becoming an army, and with Toby and the Twin’s invitation, all of the children went inside the temporary theater tent. All of the parents and guardians began roaming around the circus. Once everyone was gone, Mark replaced the six tables with new ones and told the assigned people to the buffet tables that if the tables needed to be replaced, they would need to go to Milena since she could contact him anytime and the temporary waiters nodded.
When Mark entered the temporary theater tent, Toby was at the front making a speech.
“Everyone, remember that we prepared these movies for you which were six in total. They are Star Wars Episodes I to III, then Episodes VII to IX. We’ve already seen Episodes IV to VI! We all need to watch the movies so we can prepare ourselves to better crew in our fleet do you understand!”
All the kids shouted and Mark was flabbergasted. This army of children was unbelievably fanatic when it came to playing their Star Wars games. Toby announced that there would be a few minutes pee or poop break after the first movie and then after the third movie there would be a lunch break and everyone could go to the “food tables” to eat.
Mark was highly amused while listening to Toby’s speech which was tailored for kids. After the person assigned to operate the laptop and projector started the film.
Liriel opened the robot’s door and she stepped outside to watch the movie with the other kids. Since Mark was the one assigned to watch the kids, he couldn’t get away so instead he wore a noise-canceling headset and started reading his web novel.
He had seen the Star Wars films so many times that he had already memorized the scripts word for word.
After the first movie, which was Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace was done, all of the children ran outside including the twins and Liriel. Mark thought that everyone was running to take a pee break but he was amazed that everyone was running towards the buffet tables instead and the kids began eating again.
Mark replaced the tables that needed to be replaced and saw that there were people already eating. Since he didn’t see any invitation cards on them, more than likely, they were the customers who paid to attend the Star Wars convention and most of them were in costumes.
The guests who received their food returned to the tent where the convention was being held and began partying inside. Mark didn’t even know what was inside the tent but Hamil and the others were aware of what a convention was supposed to look like since he had shown them several video clips about different comic-convention on Earth.
After the children ate, they all ran to relieve themselves and then returned to the theater to start watching the second film which was Episode II: Attack of The Clones. All of them were moving so fast that Mark could almost see an illusion of a whirlwind in every kid’s movement.
